The requirements specified in this SOW support the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) which oversees the training, doctrine, and equipping of all U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) units. USSOCOM, headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base, Tampa, FL, was established as a unified command in 1986 by Congress to address concerns regarding the status of SOF within overall U.S. defense planning.

1.2. USSOCOM is comprised of a headquarters, four Components, and a sub-unified command (Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). The USSOCOM Components are the U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC); Naval Special Warfare Command (NAVSPECWARCOM); Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) and Marine Corps Special Operations Command (MARSOC)

1.3. USSOCOM vests additional command and control responsibilities in Theater Special Operations Commands (TSOCs) which are special operational headquarters elements designed to support operations logistics, planning, and operational control requirements. USSOCOM has the primary responsibility to organize, train, and equip TSOCs. The TSOCs are:

· Special Operations Command South (SOCSOUTH), Homestead Air Force Base, FL

SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

H.1. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST

(a) Definition: Per FAR 2.101, an organizational conflict of interest means that because of other activities or relationships with other persons, a person is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the Government, or the persons objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired, or a person has an unfair competitive advantage. It does not include the normal flow of benefits from incumbency.

(b) The Contracting Officer has determined that potentially significant organizational conflicts of interest may arise due to the nature of the work the Contractor will perform under this contract that may preclude the Contractor from being awarded future USSOCOM contracts in a related area. Whereas the Contractor shall be ineligible to act as a prime contractor, consultant, or subcontractor to provide the equipment, items and services, it is agreed that the Contractor shall be ineligible to act as a prime contractor, consultant, or subcontractor to any prime contractor or subcontractor at any tier who is to supply the services, system or major components thereof for any project where the Contractor has provided or is providing support as described in FAR 9.5.

(c) The Contracting Officer may make a determination to allow a Contractor to participate in an acquisition subject to the submission of an acceptable mitigation plan in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2) below. This determination may not be appealed.

1. If the Contracting Officer requests, and the Contractor submits an organizational conflict of interest mitigation plan that, after Government review is acceptable to the Government, the Contractor's parent corporation, subsidiaries, or other physically separate profit and loss centers may not be precluded from acting as a subcontractor or consultant on future USSOCOM contracts. The Government's determination regarding the adequacy of the mitigation plan and the possibility of mitigation are unilateral decisions made solely at the discretion of the Government and are not subject to the Disputes clause of the contract. The Government may terminate the contract for default if the Contractor fails to implement and follow the procedures contained in any approved mitigation plan.

2. Any mitigation plan shall include, at a minimum, non-disclosure agreements to be executed by the Contractor and the Contractors employees supporting the Government per paragraph (c) above. Items for consideration in a mitigation plan include the following: identification of the organizational conflict(s) of interest; reporting and tracking system; an organizational conflict of interest compliance/enforcement plan, to include employee training and sanctions, in the event of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information; a plan for organizational segregation (e.g., separate reporting chains); and data security measures.

(d) These restrictions outlined in paragraph (b) shall apply to all task orders issued under this contract. This clause shall remain in effect for one year after completion of this contract.

(e) The Contractor shall apply this clause to any subcontractors or consultants, who have access to information, participate in the development of data, or participate in any other activity related to this contract which is subject to terms of this clause at the prime contractor level, unless the Contractor includes an acceptable alternate subcontractor provision in its mitigation plan. For subcontractors or consultants under this contract, if an organizational conflict of interest mitigation plan is submitted and acceptable to the Government, the subcontractor's parent corporation, subsidiaries, or other physically separate profit and loss centers may not be precluded from acting as a prime, subcontractor, or consultant on future USSOCOM contracts.

(f) The Contractor's employees shall be trained and informed of Subpart 9.5 of the…
